A: The first step to ensuring a good golf day is to make sure you are fully prepared, which includes properly packing your golf bag. What should you include? Golf balls, tees and ball markers, of course. But don’t forget little things like Band-Aids, bug spray, antacids, sunscreen, lip balm, rulebook, first aid tape, hair ties, gloves, water and a snack. It’s also a good idea to pack an umbrella and a lightweight jacket just in case the weather turns while you’re rounding the back nine. Even a deck of cards to help waste time during a rain delay is a good idea. Oh, and did we mention extra balls? You never know when that water hazard will sneak up on you.
